Sadly, the Aliens won last night. My last life was taken by an Alien Queen while she was still attached to her egg-laying apparatus. There were grenades and a hamburger(?!) right beneath her, but I couldn't get to them fast enough.

Flake, a couple of Flake's friends, Redline9 and myself got together for a mini-meet up this afternoon. We played some Saturn at Game Over for a couple of hours before heading to UFO for some arcade insanity. Hopefully we can turn these little gatherings into a regular thing.

We did get a few 5 player Guardian Heroes matches going. This time we had enough controllers, but not enough people. I ran people through a tutorial on button configs and special moves with an explanation of the magic system this time. We had some solid brawls.

Some pics:

Check out Flake's Blaze dual stick. Very nice.

I have a one minute video of Virtual On I will upload. Just some casual play between Redline9 and one of Flake's friends. Due to technical difficulties, Flake's first impression of UFO did not record. :(

As usual, the Game Over staff were very hospitable and a huge thanks goes out to them. Thanks for letting us use your space, guys!

Congratulations to Flake on getting a Saturn!
He picked one up while we were at Game Over.

Looks like it was a fun time. Too bad I'm hours away or I would have come.

So much for my ever saving any money!

oh, if you'd like to imagine my reaction to UFO just imagine a guy with a stunned look on his face and "I'm on a Boat" somehow playing in the background.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm on a Blaze, I'm on a Blaze
Everybody look at me
'Cause I'm playing on a Blaze
I'm on a Blaze, I'm on a Blaze
Take a good hard look

Virtual On shaky cam video is up. Don't trip over yourself. It's only a minute long.
